DEO Umerkot Jobs 2026 – 256 Naib Qasid, Lab Attendant, Chowkidar & Driver Posts (ES&HS)

DEO Umerkot Jobs 2026 at a Glance

Last Date to Apply: 10 November 2026 — applications must reach the DEO (ES&HS) office in Umerkot by this date. Late applications will not be accepted.

Good news for job seekers in Umerkot: the District Education Officer for Elementary, Secondary and Higher Secondary schools has opened 256 support posts in grades BS-01 to BS-04. The jobs are open only to candidates who hold a domicile of District Umerkot, and most of them ask for no more than a primary pass or basic literacy. If you live in Umerkot and want a government job in a school near your home, this is one of the biggest local openings of the year.

The notice appeared in the Nawaiwaqt newspaper on 28 October 2026, under reference INF-KRY 4778/2026. It follows a Sindh High Court order dated 19 May 2026 and a Sindh Cabinet decision of 1 December 2025, and the posts are already in the Budget Book for 2026-27, so these are sanctioned vacancies.

DEO Umerkot 256 Vacancies — Post-Wise Breakdown

The 256 seats are spread across nine post types. Naib Qasid takes the biggest share, and when the combined Naib Qasid/Chowkidar seats are added, more than four in every ten vacancies are in that group. The full breakdown is given below.

These are support roles in elementary, secondary and higher secondary schools across the district: a Naib Qasid carries files and helps the office run, a Chowkidar guards the school, a Lab Attendant helps in the science laboratory, a Library Attendant looks after books, a Mali tends the grounds, and a Sanitary Worker keeps the school clean. The two Driver seats need a licence and driving experience, while the single Water Man seat is a general support role.

Who Can Apply for DEO Umerkot Jobs 2026

Only candidates with a domicile of District Umerkot can apply. The application form also asks for your Union Council and your PRC (Permanent Residence Certificate), so keep both ready. Candidates from other districts are not eligible.

The age limit is 18 to 28 years for every post. A general relaxation of five years applies under a Sindh government notification dated 6 March 2025, which can lift the upper limit to 33 years.

Education is simple for most posts: a primary pass or basic literacy is enough for the Naib Qasid, Chowkidar, Sanitary Worker, Mali, Water Man, Library Attendant and Laboratory Attendant seats. The Driver post needs a valid LTV or HTV driving licence, the ability to maintain a log book, and at least five years of driving experience.

How to Apply for DEO Umerkot ES&HS Jobs 2026

There is no online portal and no application fee for this recruitment. The application form is printed inside the newspaper advertisement itself. Fill in the post name and the quota you apply under, your name and your father’s name, your CNIC number and date of birth, your qualification, your Union Council and district domicile, your postal address and your cell number, then sign and date the form.

Paste two recent passport-size photographs on the form. Attach attested copies of your academic certificates, your CNIC, your domicile certificate, your PRC, and an experience certificate if the post needs one. Drivers must also attach a copy of their driving licence. Then submit everything to the Office of the District Education Officer (ES&HS), District Umerkot. The advertisement does not say whether you must deliver it by hand or may send it by post, so ask the office before you travel.

Applicants already in government service must apply through their own department. Any attempt at canvassing makes the candidate liable to disqualification. The department can raise or cut the number of vacancies at any stage. Only eligible or shortlisted candidates will be called for a test or interview, and no TA or DA is paid for the interview.

Important: Do Not Mix This With the DEO Primary Umerkot Round

Readers should know that a separate notice from the District Education Officer (Primary), Umerkot, is also open with the same 10 November 2026 deadline — but it is a different office, a different advertisement, and a different set of 402 posts (Driver, Naib Qasid, Chowkidar and Sanitary Worker). This post covers ONLY the Elementary, Secondary and Higher Secondary office’s 256 posts under reference INF-KRY 4778/2026. If you want to apply to both rounds, submit a separate application to each office, using the form printed in each advertisement.

A Note on the Post Count: 256 or 234?

Last Date to Apply: 10 November 2026.

One secondary source reports this round as 234 posts, while the post-wise breakdown reproduced from the advertisement adds up to exactly 256 (90 + 42 + 34 + 30 + 24 + 22 + 11 + 2 + 1). This post uses 256 because the breakdown itself sums to that figure. The deadline is the same in every source — 10 November 2026 — so the count difference does not change when you must apply. Confirm the seat count at the DEO office when you submit your form.
